Musa is one of the most polished individual scorers in this year’s class, something that should lock him into the first round. He’d be locked into the lottery if he was anywhere close to passable defensively.

With short arms and not enough athleticism (or effort) to overcome that, Musa is a defensive negative at 6-9. He still has the size needed to guard a handful of different positions, but even that is questionable until he adds more bulk to his frame.

Still, somebody who can create his own shot at all three levels is valuable. Whoever drafts Musa will be getting an instant bucket-getter off the bench, if nothing else.
